SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Tropical Storm Isaias, located in inland Virginia, will continue
to move to north-northeast this morning along the Mid-Atlantic coast.
Isaias will slowly weaken as it accelerates northeast today, likely
moving over our area this afternoon and evening. However, confidence
continues to increase with respect to the magnitude of local hazards
and impacts.

The main threats with this system involve heavy rainfall, strong
winds, minor to moderate coastal flooding, along with high surf and
dangerous rip currents. Additionally, a few tornadoes are possible.

Locally heavy rainfall is expected with a widespread 1 to 3 inches,
with localized amounts up to 5 inches possible. The heaviest rain is
most likely to occur across New York City, Northeast New Jersey and
the Lower Hudson Valley this morning through this evening, and eastern
sections this afternoon into tonight. The strongest winds are likely
to occur across New York City Metro, Long Island, northeast New
Jersey, southern portions of the Lower Hudson Valley, and southeast
Connecticut. Dangerous marine conditions are likely across all of the
coastal waters today and tonight. High surf and dangerous rip currents
are expected to continue along the ocean beaches Today through
Wednesday.

The effects from Tropical Storm Isaias are expected to diminish
quickly from southwest to northeast across the area late tonight into
Wednesday morning. 

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible 
extensive impacts across New Jersey, New York City, the Lower Hudson
Valley, and portions of southeastern Connecticut. Potential impacts
include:
    - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
    - Rivers and streams may rapidly overflow their banks in multiple 
      places. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may become 
      dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and barriers may become 
      stressed.
    - In hilly terrain, destructive runoff may run quickly down 
      valleys, and increase susceptibility to rockslides and 
      mudslides. 
    - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple 
      communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed 
      away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes. 
      Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water with 
      underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous. 
      Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.


* WIND:
Protect against dangerous wind having possible significant impacts 
across Southeast New York, Northeast New Jersey, and Southern 
Connecticut. Potential impacts in this area include:
    - Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with damage 
      to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few buildings 
      experiencing window, door, and garage door failures. Mobile 
      homes damaged, especially if unanchored. Unsecured lightweight 
      objects become dangerous projectiles.
    - Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater 
      numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several 
      fences and roadway signs blown over.
    - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban 
      or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways, and access 
      routes impassable.
    - Scattered power and communications outages, but more prevalent 
      in areas with above ground lines

* SURGE:
Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited 
impacts across shoreline communities. Potential impacts in 
this area include:
    - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along 
      immediate shorelines and in low lying spots, or in areas 
      farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    - Sections of near shore roads and parking lots become overspread 
      with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where 
      surge water covers the road.
    - Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly 
      in usually vulnerable locations. Strong and frequent rip 
      currents.
    - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, 
      and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across Southeast New York, Northeast New Jersey, and 
Southern Connecticut, little to no impact is anticipated.

* TORNADOES:
Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts 
across Southeast New York, Northeast New Jersey, and Southern 
Connecticut. Potential impacts include:
    - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution 
      of emergency plans during tropical events.
    - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power 
      and communications disruptions.
    - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys 
      toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, 
      large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow rooted trees 
      knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats 
      pulled from moorings.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

Now is the time to check your emergency plan and emergency supplies 
kit and take necessary actions to protect your family and secure your 
home or business.

Keep cell phones well charged. Cell phone chargers for automobiles 
can be helpful, but be aware of your risk for deadly carbon monoxide 
poisoning if your car is left idling in a garage or other poorly 
ventilated area.

Rapidly rising flood waters are deadly. If you are in a flood prone 
area, consider moving to higher ground. Never drive through a flooded 
roadway. Remember, Turn Around Don't Drown!

Storm surge is the leading killer associated with tropical storms and 
hurricanes! Make sure you are in a safe area away from the surge 
zone. Even if you are not in a surge prone area, you could find 
yourself cut off by flood waters during and after the storm. Heed 
evacuation orders issued by local authorities.

If in a place that is vulnerable to high winds, such as near large 
trees, a mobile home, upper floors of a high rise building, or on a 
boat, consider moving to a safer shelter before the onset of strong 
winds or flooding.

If a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, be ready to shelter 
quickly, preferably away from windows and in an interior room not 
prone to flooding. If driving, scan the roadside for quick shelter 
options.

Closely monitor http://weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news 
outlets for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible 
changes to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive 
weather warnings.

SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

The official track has been shifted slightly south with similar 
intensity forecast, but little change in impacts is anticipated. A 
Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. Strong convection is now only 325 miles away. The disturbance
is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm tonight or Wednesday. 
This system is expected to bring flooding rains across Puerto Rico and 
the U.S. Virgin Islands, and generate possible life threatening flash 
flooding and mudslides, as well as river flooding, particularly across 
mainland Puerto Rico. Weather, marine and coastal conditions are 
expected to deteriorate starting on Wednesday afternoon with inclement 
weather continuing through Thursday.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible
extensive impacts across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
Potential impacts include:
    - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.

      multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and 
      ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas, 
      destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while 
      increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood 
      control systems and barriers may become stressed.
    - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple 
      communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed 
      away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes.
